Action Flotation Chair Pads

ILC Reference NO 43:62:013
Item sourced from ILC VIC database

Factors to Consider
Gel pads may assist in minimizing vibration.
There are many things to consider when selecting pressure care products including nutrition, skin moisture, level of mobility, age, shear, friction, location of pressure ulcer (if present) and hygiene. Any comments regarding level of pressure care is a suggestion made by suppliers as a guide to assist with selection, and this may differ from brand to brand. When selecting pressure care products it is strongly advised that a comprehensive assessment is undertaken by a health professional to encourage correct product selection and monitoring of product effectiveness.

Short Description
The range of Action gel flotation chair pads are covered with an elastic skin and encased in a washable knit cover with zipper and carrying loops. The gel conforms to body shape, thus redistributes pressure. There are four models available, the Professional, Pilot, Centurian and Commuter. May assist users who are at risk of pressure sores.

Price Guide
Refer to supplier details for pricing.

More Details
The gel will not leak if plastic covering is punctured.
The gel will not absorb urine, body fluids or odours.
The pads are on a non slip base.
Users will not bottom out on gel pads.
May add significantly to the overall weight of a wheelchair.
These cushions contain an elastomer gel, not a fluid medium.
A large range of sizes are available upon request.

The Professional

The Pilot (standard model)

The Centurian
